Race and the Third Reich aims to set out the key concepts, debates
and controversies that marked the academic study of race in Nazi
Germany. It looks in particular at the discipline of racial
anthropology and its relationship to linguistics and human biology.
Christopher Hutton identifies the central figures involved in
the study of race during the Nazi regime, and traces continuities
and discontinuities between Nazism and the study of human diversity
in the Western tradition. Whilst Nazi race theory is commonly
associated with the idea of a superior "Aryan race" and with the
idealization of the Nordic ideal of blond hair, blue eyes and a
"long-skull," Nazi race theorists, in common with their colleagues
outside Germany, without exception denied the existence of an Aryan
race. After 1935 official publications were at pains to stress that
the term "Aryan" belonged to linguistics and was not a racial
category at all. Under the influence of Mendelian genetics, racial
anthropologists concluded that there was no necessary link between
ideal physical appearance and ideal racial character. In the course
of the Third Reich, racial anthropology was marginalized in favour
of the rising science of human genetics. However, racial
anthropologists played a key role in the crimes of the Nazi state
by defining Jews and others as racial outsiders to be excluded at
all costs from the body of the German Volk.
Anyone studying the Third Reich or who is interested in race
theory will find this a fascinating, informative and accessible
study.
Our love affair wasn't what everyone wanted it to be. It was raw
and full of absolute joy and unbelievable pain. My love for her had
consumed me for years and now that Kaye was mine, I was never
letting her go. I knew the consequences of our affair would be
devastating and hated to see the hurt in Claire's eyes. I thought
it would be so easy to just walk away...start a new life. I didn't
expect to feel so conflicted about leaving. I needed her. She was
my lifeline and we were determined to get our happily ever
after....until one day, one event, one conversation threatened it
all. "I had to know what went wrong. My stomach was sick with grief
and I didn't know what to do next or even how to help Kaye. I
needed to get to her. It didn't matter what Rob or Claire thought.
No one could stop me from going. I knew she needed me. I could feel
it deep in my soul." Jake(less)
Based on true events. Four lives, intertwined by friendship and
business, whose true story was more devastating than fiction. Rob
and Kaye were thrilled to be moving to the island of St. John with
dear friends Jake and Claire. The men were going into business
together and relocating with their families to the beautiful
tropical paradise. It was a dream come true for the longtime
friends. But, when feelings are revealed and temptation takes
control, one friendship turns from lust to love and no one can walk
away unscathed. And, one person's ultimate decision leaves everyone
lost and devastated.
